Title: Looking for a couple of spare Sherman parts
Post by: Ballardian on May 30, 2018, 08:25:52 pm: Has anyone got the parts from the F sprue of the M4A2/Composite/Firefly IC kits, F17 & F09 (the M34A1 mantlet & gun mount) going spare & be prepared to part with them - I would be grateful - happy to pay postage or perhaps I've got something in the bits box that you're after? PM me if you do.
Cheers,
Matt

Post by: Pinky on May 31, 2018, 11:39:53 am: I had a look, as I had several F-sprues. I don't seem to have kept any of the unused mantlets or gun mounts, unfortunately. If I come across them (or pick up another kit with that sprue) I'll let you know.

I thought maybe I can help, but sadly I do not have those parts (F09 and F17) among my spares. However, I do have another Sherman kit (#280060) that I have not assembled, but I have not decided if I will assemble the early (F02 and F39) or later (F09 and F17) mantlet. Do you need these part right away?

Thank you Tracks - I'm not in any real hurry, so if you decide that you don't need them please let me know.

Post by: Ballardian on June 27, 2018, 09:04:55 pm: Many thanks to everyone who had a root through their bits boxes, yesterday the missus surprised me with an M4A2 kit, so I've now got the parts I need, I appreciate the effort you went to.
Thanks again,
Matt
